Community Outreach

MAC Community Door to Door Campaign. One full time Animal Services Officergoes door to door assisting pet owners in underserved neighborhoods. This officer provides food and supplies to residents in order to help them keep their pets safe and healthy. During the cold winter months, this includes providing dog houses to owners who need shelter for their pets.

Emergency Boarding Program. In extreme emergencies and disasters, MAC shelters animals short term for pet owners. Animals are housed at the shelter, provided veterinary care and all animals are returned to owners. This program began in April 2014. The program includes multiple collaborating agencies such as Relevant Hope, Community Kitchen, Metropolitan Ministries, VA Center, Red Cross and Salvation Army, Family Justice Center and a variety of law enforcement agencies. This program is based solely on referrals from social service agencies for animals belonging to homeless people going into shelters during cold temperatures, fire victims, domestic violence victims, evicted veterans in transition, and homeless people in the hospital.
